Substance abuse is a pressing public health issue affecting individuals and communities across California. In 2021, more than one in ten residents of the state were diagnosed with substance use disorder (the clinical term for addiction), according to NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse). Among these, fewer than 10% engaged with any form of treatment.
Our Southern California substance abuse hotline provides individuals fighting addictions with confidential advice and guidance. It is not intended as a substitute for treatment, but rather to help connect people with addictions to appropriate resources and therapy.
If you or someone that you know is struggling with substance abuse and seeking help, calling our local Southern California substance abuse helpline can be a crucial first step toward engaging with treatment.
